Xi to visit US on Sept 24 for AI talks, Trump says

President Donald Trump announced that Chinese President Xi Jinping will travel to the United States on 24 September for a bilateral discussion focused on artificial intelligence. Trump said, “President Xi is coming on September 24 … we talked about AI when I was in Beijing, and we’ll talk about it again.” The statement follows the leaders’ May meeting in Beijing, where they agreed to start an inter‑governmental dialogue on AI.

U.S. officials have been preparing for the visit. State Secretary Marco Rubio and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met in Washington to lay the groundwork for “a very positive visit,” and the White House signaled that AI‑related concerns such as model‑distillation and intellectual‑property protection will be on the agenda. The planned talks are seen as a key moment in the broader strategic competition between the United States and China over emerging technologies.
